I have to add it to my website/webshop, but here's a small preview for you.

Last week I made a custompiece for a customer from Norway.It had to match the style of an existing tattoo.He wanted a symmetrical design, based on a fish/shark, with elements like triangles and scales.

My inspiration also resulted in another shoulder piece.Not available on my website yet, because I need to scan it in high resolution.Please let me know what you think of the latest designs!

I'm working on a step by step example on how to I design my maori shoulder pieces. Hope to post it in a few days.

Today I worked on a new Maori shoulder piece.When I draw a new design, I start with a sheet of paper, 200 grams, size A3 (29,7 x 42cm).

The materials I use are just a simple medium hard pencil for the first sketch.

First I make a rough sketch for the shape of the design.Then some main elements are designed and I try to get a nice flow in the overall design.(My tattoo's have no specific meanings, I just combine different tattoo styles into one esthetic image)When that's done, I fill the small shapes with nice triangles, lines or other tribal tattoo patterns.

Finally I trace the tattoo design with a black marker and remove the pencil lines.
